Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Clearway Energy Group (San Francisco, California) is the latest renewable-energy developer to expand its role in the Rocky Mountain region, which has become the leading U.S. market region for wind-energy projects. Clearway recently signed a pair of 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Incorporated (NYSE:BRK.A) (Omaha, Nebraska), to support projects in Idaho and Wyoming. The Rocky Mountain region accounts for about 20% of the roughly $161.5 billion worth of active wind energy projects across the U.S., according to Industrial Info's project database, which is the most of any region; Clearway is involved in more than $7.6 billion worth nationwide.

The first PPA will provide much-needed support to the proposed Two Rivers Windfarm in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, which Clearway co-owns with BluEarth Incorporated (Calgary, Alberta). The windfarm, which is designed to generate 280 megawatts (MW) from 100 turbines, was part of a 795-MW portfolio of wind-energy projects BluEarth acquired from Intermountain Wind LLC (Boulder, Colorado) in 2018, but it has since faced years of delays. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can learn more from a detailed project report.
The second PPA will bolster the Cedar Creek Windfarm in Blackfoot, Idaho, which Clearway is developing with private-equity company Global Infrastructure Partners (New York, New York). Clearway, which acquired Cedar Creek last year from rPlus Energies LLC (Salt Lake City, Utah), expects the project will generate 75 MW from 22 turbines provided by General Electric (NYSE:GE) (Boston, Massachusetts). The project remains in its permitting phase. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's project report.
This spring, multinational energy company TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:TTE) (Courbevoie, France) agreed to purchase a 50% stake in Clearway from Global Infrastructure, currently its controlling investor. For more information, see May 31, 2022, article - TotalEnergies Buys 50% of U.S. Renewables Firm Clearway.
Altogether, Clearway is involved in $2.65 billion worth of renewable-energy projects across the Rocky Mountain region. Its heaviest spending is in the West Coast region, where it is constructing the Daggett Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plant in California, about 120 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The 156-MW, first phase, 197.6-MW second phase and 324.5-MW third phase are set to wrap up toward the end of first-quarter 2023; each is accompanied by a battery energy-storage system (BESS) unit with a similar completion date.

PacifiCorp's other projects in Wyoming include the $71 million repowering of the Foote Creek V Windfarm in Rock River, which involves adding 10 turbines that will generate 43 MW in total. The project is expected to wrap up before the end of this quarter. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's project report.
Other companies building out their presence in the Rocky Mountain wind-energy market include The Anschutz Corporation (Denver, Colorado), which started construction earlier this year on the Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project near Rawlins, Wyoming, which is designed to generate 1,500 MW from 500 turbines. Although this project is not expected to be completed until mid-2025, Anschutz already is preparing to begin construction next summer on a second-phase unit addition that would double the turbines and output. Subscribers can read detailed project reports on the first phase and second phase.
